What We Didn'T Know
I know you held me the day I was born and thought how beautiful and she’s all mine
You swore to protect me with your own life and watch me grow with time.
What we didn’t know was that you would be snatched away like a leaf blowing in the wind.
What we didn’t know was that we would never see you again
All things happen for a reason yes this we know.
But we still ask why sometimes because we can’t let go
When you love someone and their taken and you can’t say goodbye
All we have are memories and nothing left to do but cry
We cry because we are sad we cry because we are mad
We cry because everyone else has one but we lost our dad
Your birthday comes we place flowers on your grave
Father’s day follow and we place flowers on your grave
The same routine just a different day or year
But we rather have you daddy standing right here
No matter how much I need you now, Heaven needed you more.
Heaven was needing a hero someone so brave and so true
Heaven needed a hero...God wasted no time choosing you.
